Placid Plastic Duck Simulator News

Duck friends,

A great prize is at hand! We have the opportunity to take Steam by storm with the power of plastic tranquillity, cuteness, and style.

The Steam Awards nominations are now open, and if we all together bob along in the same direction, we can really make a difference.

[h3]People of the pool, beaks of stoicism and beauty, heed my call: let the QUACK be heard all over the world![/h3]

All we have to do is vote for the Sit back and relax category, and make sure we all vote for Placid Plastic Duck Simulator. The ducks will do the rest.

It's a long shot, true, but I'm confident we can make it.

Together!





Now two words about what's coming next.

You don't think we are just sitting here idling watching the ducks float, right? Of course not. We are working to add more stuff to the game, and we have soooo many ideas in mind you can't imagine. Well, actually some of you can...

Long story short, there is a new AMAZING expansion coming up next month. This time is not going to be more ducks, but one additional location to play at!

It's going to be fun, thank you for sticking with us instead of flying away alone like Tim.

Hello my Duckies!

It's been a while, I know. After all, you wouldn't expect a placid duck like me to work hard to release new content, would you?

Let's celebrate though, for today many things are happening.

1. A 20% discount on the game just started, so now it's a good time to gift it to your favorite person.
   
2. The game received an update, and you can now name your ducks and save your game (just one game at a time).
   
3. The DLC we called Ducks, Please is finally here!

You'll also find a couple of new little in-game secrets, together with the much-needed settings, and some additional sounds.

It's worth noticing how we did not add new achievements at this time; we are planning to do that as we release A NEW POOL IN A NEW ENVIRONMENT, likely in December.

Ps: press the spacebar.

My duckies,

The first Placid Plastic Duck Simulator expansion is on its way and will soon be with you all.

Wishlist it now!

After spending a very hot and relaxing month of August at the beach, we are back and ready to make all ideas (ours and yours) come true.

We've been monitoring your comments since the beginning, and after studying them closely, we produced convoluted diagrams and algorithms which gave us a very surprising result in terms of what was the top request: "more ducks".

Therefore, 27 additional and unique plastic ducks will join your collection thanks to the upcoming "Ducks, Please" DLC. As you would expect, some of them have specific interactions and behavior.

Here, have a glance at some of the new ducks you will meet:


In addition to new ducks, we are also bringing some quality of life updates and fixes:

- Save slot, so that you can now save your ducky progress.

- Settings panel, to be able to change resolution, play in windowed mode, and more.

- Quack sound upon clicking on a duck to select it (this might hide some surprises).

- Fixed the engine of the helicopter duck, so that it doesn't get stuck on the wall anymore.

- Ability to name the ducks and show their name both in-game and in your collection.

- Little adjustments we'll let you discover by yourself.



And here's what you can expect from this DLC:

- 27 new ducks

- new unique actions and combos

- increased relaxation

- support for further development

- the ducks' gratitude

- fireworks


Speaking of new DLCs, if all goes as planned, you should get ready for more fun environments to come!

To follow our progress as we keep adding new exciting but relaxing stuff to the game, follow us on our Twitter page.

For now, we hope you'll enjoy meeting up with all the new ducks.

How are you my duckies?

With a bit of delay but with great pleasure, I'm here to announce the arrival of Community Items!

Placid Plastic Duck Simulator now really feels like possesses all the features needed to help you achieve ultimate relaxation. It's no coincidence the ultimate badge is called "Ascended duck".

Time to celebrate!


Honestly, it was fun making all these items and we hope you like them too.


No really, you MUST like them. You know what happens if you don't?


Just kidding.


Now that this is done, we can really focus on the actual gameplay and plan an even more relaxing and fun future for the ducks. Exciting times ahead!

In fact, we started already. Want to see something? We can't show you, it must be a surprise. But to prove that we are actually on the move here's a little reworking we have in store for the piping hot "molten duck":




Ok, that's enough already, I'm not allowed to spoil too much yet. So, I thank you all again for sticking with us and floating gently with all the ducks. You are really the best players we could possibly hope for.


More news soon. Just not too soon, we are off to the beach for the month of August.

Dear Duckies,

First of all, thank you! This many downloads and good reviews are as welcome as unexpected :).

It's now almost 10 days since release day; it's amazing to watch so many people playing and streaming and to read so many comments, reviews, and feedback.





We haven't been idle though, because we wanted to address the most common issues as soon as possible. This is just the first of many updates to come!

Before we get to the list of what we added and fixed, allow me to announce that you asked for trading cards and trading cards you'll get next week!

Enjoy this sneak peek:





Now, on to a more serious topic: the infamous GPU usage. Many people noticed this issue and rightfully complained. This week we investigated the problem and eventually managed to considerably reduce GPU usage and temperature, though we are still working on optimization.

We want to do more and add video settings in another future update. This requires a bit more work, but rest assured it will be implemented, this way players will be able to adjust everything according to their setup.

[h3]FIXED[/h3]

• Helicopter cap duck getting stuck on the floor
  
• Occlusion culling making the camera go through objects
  
• Ducks ending too often stranded out of the pool
  
• Golf ball achievement triggering randomly
  
• Fps and GPU usage
  
• Korean and Japanese languages
  

[h3]ADDED[/h3]

• Simplified Chinese and Turkish languages
  

Brace yourself my duckies, for the best is yet to come.
